Southscapes

Beyond merely aesthetic contemplation.

Building a narrative about the other.

A perspective where art becomes an empowerment tool.

Use sound as element of exploration

through levels of research.

Post digital paradigm

New Media

The New Media perspective enables to connect with grassroots initiatives where practitioners are empowered to create tools for sonic and data exploration, to table a

remapping of spaces, specially on remote locations.

Format of New Media practices:Workshops on digital Tools empowerment,

Use of electronics in daily lifeDo it yourself (DIY) & Do it with Others (DIWO)

Locative Media

-Use of environmental data and remap

visualizing the territory and soundscape.

-Provide educational tools for collaborative

media to map a public space.

-Placement, how individuals engage in

media projects with a location to become

part of the space.

Electro Acoustic Atelier

It is not production of an art work in the classi-cal sense. A workshop enables an understanding

of both ecology and entanglement of people, ideas, tools, materials, systems and processes.

Workshops also may cloud artistic or personal objectives- including some of the community en-gagement agendas from institutional - political organisations that work with art and culture.

Any learning that implies creative empowerment should not be concerned with idea transmission. But is oriented to a construction and reconstruc-

tion of knowledge through experience.

On the performativity: Allan Kaprow sought to elaborate public performances towards an inte-

gration of art and life.Johan Huizinga’s notions of play: (Found in his

book Homo Ludens “Man the player”) points out the need of play for the generation of culture.

Huizinga’s work proposes a study of the play-ele-ment in culture.

According to Huizinga; Play is in fact freedom, is dis-tinct from “ordinary” (life both as locality and du-

ration), play creates order (demand order absolute and supreme), play is connected with no material in-

terest, no profit can be gained from it.

Geroge Caillois key ideas about play: Agon (com-petition), Alea (Chance), Mimicry (mimesis), llimx

(“whirlpool” the sense of altering perception, verti-go and altering perception).Paidia - uncontrolled fantasy.

Ludus - requires an ever greater amount of effort, patience, skill, or ingenuity.
